9992.0. "EHOSTDOWN meaning ..." by TAEC::GALLERI () Fri May 30 1997 06:42

Hi,

Does anybody knows if it is possible to have a `connect'
call returning EHOSTDOWN, on either INET or DECnet address
family ? In that case, what does it mean ?

More genrally, what is the *precise* meaning of the explanation in
`man errno' :

[EHOSTDOWN]   Host is down
      Indicates that a socket operation failed because the destination host
      was down.

Thx,

Xav
